Happy birthday Harry who turns one this month. Stalking me with toys stuffed in his mouth.

It’s been one year since the new Cyprus tree was planted by my family. It has grown and flourished along with the park-like back yard.

One more from the air show. This warbird was doing all types of aerobatics to show off its ability to maneuver.

We hopped over to a local air show and were treated to the first glimpse of the new Lockheed Martin F-35a. These two were doing flyovers and maneuvers while we all ooed and ahhed.

Oh hail! It is not very often that we get a lot of hail. This spring storm dumped quite a bit on us and managed to pile up along the bottom of our bamboo. It was gone as quickly as it showed up.

We took a quick jaunt across the state a few days ago, and when we got there, we were treated to the mating dance of the male sandhill crane.
He was quite proud of his plumage, and she was so disinterested in his antics. It was great to see him this close.

This is the monkey at his first Christmas.
I promise that I will get back to adding more bird, bug and flower photos, but for the moment, I had to add a baby picture of Harry.

When you live somewhere that sees so few season changes, you grab a hold of anything that reminds you of the passage of time.
It is always a treat to see a brilliant red and orange maple losing its leaves for the winter. This tree is in bright display.

We have a lot of protected gopher tortoises that live around our little plot of land, but sometimes they stop by to say “hey” and sun themselves on the porch.
That is what this guy was doing one afternoon, and he stayed there for quite awhile before “scampering” off.

The best that I can tell, this is a sphinx moth larvae. It was quite large and looked a lot like the photos I found of them, but they didn’t quite look like this, so I have assume that it is one of the species, but not quite the ones that I saw on the internet.
It is a moth, though, so that much is true. It was about 4-inches in length and as fat as my little finger, so it was good sized. As late in the year this is, I was surprised to see a caterpillar.
